Two former Penn State officials accused to lying to a grand jury in the Jerry Sandusky scandal are set stand trial next January.

Tim Curley, on leave from his post as the school’s athletic director, and Gary Schultz, a retired senior vice president, will have their trial start Jan. 7, when jury selection will commence.

The Freeh Report went a step further, saying that the two men, along with former coach Joe Paterno and former president Graham Spanier, conspired to keep quiet allegations of child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky, who was convicted in June on 45 counts of abusing 10 boys.

However, Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover was still considering motions by the men's lawyers to throw out the charges. Both men have pleaded not guilty to lying about the extent of their knowledge of a 2001 allegation involving Sandusky.
